STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s camps will be in full force this summer, with a variety of enriching activities planned for elementary through high school students.

Camps offered include accounting, architecture and design, arts and sciences, engineering, sports, theater, veterinary and many more. A comprehensive list can be found at www.summercamps.msstate.edu/camps.

“We are excited to have a full slate of summer camps to offer our community right here on our campus. MSU summer camps allow kids and youth of all ages to learn something new while having lots of fun and experiencing a sense of campus life,” said Dei Allard, executive director of University Housing. “While some are stepping onto our beautiful campus for the first time and some are regular summer guests, each person leaves with a great experience and memories to last a lifetime.”

In addition to camps, www.summercamps.msstate.edu is a resource for those planning or attending summer conferences. Information on amenities, lodging, dining, parking and transit, recreation and meeting spaces also is on the site, as well as related university policies, including the Minors Protection Policy at https://www.summercamps.msstate.edu/policies/minors-protection-policy.

MSU’s Office of Guest and Conference Services offers a clearinghouse of summer camp information and may be contacted at summercamps@msstate.edu. Individual camp coordinators or sponsoring departments also may be contacted for full event details.
